For example, oily rags are disposed in closed metal waste bins. 24 Waste (including hazardous waste) is collected regularly so that there is no unnecessary accumulation of waste. 25 A predetermined disposal area has been designated for situations where waste materials (e.g., bulky waste, toxic waste) need to be accumulated till the next waste collection date.
